Lithia, Florida -- For the third time in four days, firefighters were kept busy battling a wildfire in Hillsborough County. Monday's fire consumed more than 10 acres in Lithia while officials worry 2013 could be a very dangerous wildfire season.

Ronnie Rivera, with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, says the state's dry and windy conditions are not helping.

The National Weather Service notes since the beginning of the year the Tampa area has received only 3.62 inches of rain. In a normal year during that same period of time, the area gets more than 8 inches of rain.
